Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The sci-fi movies that flopped at the box office in the last decade are illustrative of how tricky the genre can be. Like its counterpart and often overlapping genre of fantasy, sci-fi typically connotes extensive world-building that can easily mean a movie bogged down in exposition.
10 Annihilation Grossed $43 Million Against $40 Million Budget Close Annihilation, based on the novel of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer, is a highly surrealistic adventure intertwined with broad philosophical themes. The movie includes many stunning visuals and noteworthy actors giving compelling performances. However, audiences have to work to understand the plot, which is largely abstract and demands that they ponder the symbolisms of what is literally happening on screen.
Timing also likely played a part in Solo's box office flop. It had the misfortune of sharing the beginning of the summer blockbuster season with Avengers: Infinity War, while the Star Wars brand was beginning to lose its "once in a lifetime" feel with so many spinoffs and TV shows in development. However, Solo could have done much worse by its iconic title character, and it's not as if Disney could afford the monetary loss.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets PG-13 Luc Besson's big-budget space opera Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets stars Dane DeHaan as Valerian and Cara Delevingne as Laureline, two officers from the United Human Federation's police force in the distant future. When Valerian receives a telepathic message from an unknown alien, the pair find themselves uncovering corruption and conspiracy from within the Federation itself.
James Cameron and Linda Hamilton's return to the franchise and the new characters of Grace and Dani served the story well.

The consensus is that Terminator's heyday is ancient history, a feeling that was reflected at the box office; the franchise's best hope for a true renaissance now is not a movie but the TV show Terminator Zero.
